    Poor customer support. Have ContiProContact M+S and chunks are coming off the tires. Too bad, so sad say Conti. NO MORE CONTI TIRES. I will no longer buy any NEW CAR with Contis also. They can change them out to sell me the car.

    Tires are noisy & it doesn't "feel" right driving on them. I think I should replace these tires which only have 24,204 miles & 2 1/2 years on them, especially after reading of all the blowouts in reviews on this site.

      I bought 4 Continental tires/General tires 4 years ago. The tires were supposed to last 70,000 miles. 2 of the tires failed after about 35,000 miles. Small chunks of rubber were coming off these 2 tires and one went flat because the chunk came off. I contacted Continental Tires because there was a recall due to improper manufacturing on some of their tires. I was advised to go to a retailer that carried their brand and ask their opinion of the the defective tires. In good faith I asked the retailer to install 2 Continental/General tires that most closely matched the 2 defective tires. I asked the tire store to examine the 2 defective tires when install the new tires. They were not sure what the cause of the chunks of rubber coming off was.

      When I returned from the tire store, I contacted Continental/General and told them that I bought 2 of their tires but explained that there were unsure of the reason for failure. The Continental/General defect department that I should have told the retailer to hold the tires for evaluation. Unfortunately the retailer was not able to retrieve the defective tires. Continental/General told me that they could not offer an adjustment to my cost because the tires were not available. I understood and accepted their excuse, but asked that the tires that I just bought were on a rebate program and asked if they would allow me to get the rebate if I went back to the retailer and bought 2 more tires. I thought this would be a win/win situation. I was told NO because the rebate required the 4 tires be bought at the same time. I appealed to their consumer department and was told NO.

      I will advise anyone who is buying tires to beware of customer support of the company that makes the tires. I could have purchased tires for 1/2 the cost and got longer tire life than these premium priced Continental/ General tires. I advise anyone considering Continental/General Tires to ask about their warranty and product recall procedure.

      I've had 2 sidewall blowouts within 8 months and car seldom leaves the yard. Both times was stranded because no spare came with car and haven't found one that will fit yet. I hit pot holes both times but pot holes I have hit with other cheaper tires a million times with no problems.

      Always bought these tires for my trucks. Last purchase I bought 2 tires and my SUV has been shaking a lot. Had balance done 2 times no luck. Called Continental they told me buy 2 more tires then send back bad tires and if they find a problem they will reimburse me which could take months. No thanks. Will never buy again.

      I made an appointment November 21, 2024 to have new Continental tires and misc repairs done on my Subaru Outback. The dealer wasn't able to get the car in till December 11, 2024. Upon completion I went to submit the $110 Continental Tire Rebate for the purchase of four tires. The rebate site said"expired", program ended November 30, 2024. I contacted Continental Tire customer service and provided proof that the repair was scheduled on November 21, 2024. The request was denied, even though the tire replacement was scheduled during the rebate period.

      Very disappointed in Continental. Placed an order on Tire Rack for 4 Viking Contact 7 tires mounted and balanced on 4 new rims. When trying to submit the rebate, found an installation receipt was required. While telling Continental customer service I put the mounted tires on my vehicle myself, (being already mounted on rims) I was told I didn't qualify for the rebate. I offered to sign a separate document, provide pictures with the tires on my vehicle, all fell on deaf ears. I went through the same scenario 4 years ago for my previous vehicle and had no issues with the rebate. Luckily my tires/rims hadn't shipped yet and I was able to cancel the order. Terrible customer service from Continental for a returning customer, never again will I go through this aggravation.

      This was the first set of Continental tires and it was very disappointing. Had them installed on a 2021 Honda pilot touring model. Tires appeared to be wearing and performing well however one day when the car was parked and not running one of the tires blew doing 4000.00 worth of damage to the car. Of course I contacted continental however they assumed no responsibility. Tires had 8000 miles on them. I trashed the other three tires and went back to Michelin. I am an old man and never in my life has a tire blown while sitting in the driveway. Do yourself a favor and stay away from continental tires!!!

      I would NOT buy Continental Tire ever again. These tires are defective. All my tires have slice on them which continental claims it's curb damage because the factory aluminum rims show some scratches. I park my car inside my house. I don't park near curbs. I tried their claim process at discount tire which is trash.
